Chez Jules Restaurant

Top choice in La Digue


This beachfront-roadside shack may be on the casual side, but it serves up some of the finest meals on the island. The octopus curry and tuna steak with coconut sauce are both particularly divine. Feel free to rock up for breakfast (omelettes and fresh juices and smoothies) or lunch, but you'll need to book in for dinner by 3pm. Cash only.
